Cmon Jonathon, thatā€™s why you always keep a local copy of the entire Arch Wiki at hand!

That reminds meā€¦ in the repo thereā€™s also

community/arch-wiki-docs 20200527-1
    Pages from Arch Wiki optimized for offline browsing
community/arch-wiki-lite 20200527-1
    The wiki without html. 1/9 as big, easily searched and viewable on console.

Theyā€™re not going to be as up-to-date but will work if you want the ā€œfull wiki experienceā€. :grinning:

And itā€™s back online (sort of).
A prominent glitch on the top of each page but should be browsable/usable.

There is an Android app for the wiki - I donā€™t know if it was affected (works now, but perhaps was off briefly?) My tablet was my secret weapon for ā€œArchwayā€ installs :grin:

Does anybody else feel ā€œthe needā€ to try to install all of it?

Why install though, you can just download it to any location with:

 --cachedir "$directory"

Who knowsā€¦Maybe after end of the world in the bunker your children would want to installā€¦
Hell i donā€™t know, Electron :rofl:

P.S. And remember kids: avoid partial upgrades!! :rofl:

P.P.S. I think that command is more appropriate btw, little more results

sudo pacman -Sw $(pacman -Slq)
